My brain hurts looking at this …… I’m sure I could learn but I don’t know if I can learn patience lol definitely amazing skill patience and experience doing these projects.its early I am not in a rush, here are a couple pics of the process
This slide is getting two barrels fit to it, 9MM and 38 Super.
First thing I do is stone the slide hood to check for and smooth out any tooling marks. then measure slide and barrel hoods
.373 is a snug fit on the slide

you cant just remove material randomly from the sides of the barrel hood. they need to be measured to determine how much to remove from each side.
This is the system I use.
Mounting the slide and barrel horizontal in a vise and measure to left side of the slide opening and the right side of the barrel hood tells me how much material to remove from that side of the barrel hood.
Then measure total width of the barrel hood after removing the right side material and the difference is how much you need to remove from the left side of barrel hood.
I found this one interesting, Both KKM barrels and hood width is pretty close to the same on both but the amount to remove on this side of the hood is different on each barrel.
It makes no difference since the hoods are oversized and both sides still need cut.

It's not rocket science but patience and time for certain.My brain hurts looking at this …… I’m sure I could learn but I don’t know if I can learn patience lol definitely amazing skill patience and experience doing these projects.
Thank youYou are a guy I would love to hang out and watch you work. You teach so well.
Looks harder than rocket science to me!It's not rocket science but patience and time for certain.
Take a left on 150 and a right on 37. Then keep driving a couple hours.You are a guy I would love to hang out and watch you work. You teach so well.
Passports don't do no good in Crawford, why even the man don't know how to read...Take a left on 150 and a right on 37. Then keep driving a couple hours.
Do you need a passport to leave Crawford County or can you take the backroads to avoid the man?
I don't know the difference from rocket surgery and brain science...Looks harder than rocket science to me!
Oh yea, you have to go with MilwaukeeWhat brand of disc grinder are you using? Obviously, my dewalt isn't up to the task.
Allen’s a beautiful man.A friend shared this with me and wow ... that's some beautiful work.
